and internally the contents are found worthy
of the beautiful golden-yellow garb. Mrs.

classes of poems: by the Way" "With the
Children" and " Especial" these last being

Uplifts of Heart and WiII, is series of
religious meditations or aspirations, by
James II. West. These meditations are
prayers which siudiously avoid the form of
prayer. The writer is evidently a man of
reverent spirit and deep religious nature.
But he seems to avoid addressing God in any
form of language which implies personality.
1t is manual of devotion for those who pre-
fer to believe in stream of tendency" or
the ''nature of things" rather than the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. This
eccentricity will defeat the helpful purpose
of the volume. IChicago, Charles II. Kerr

| The new Princeton Reuiet0 for July pre-
sents a series of articles which possess, in an
unusual degree, the quality of being interest
ing; the subjects discussed are not only
varied, but entertaining. Mr.. r. W. Glider,
the editor of the Century Magazine, empha-
sizes Certain Tendencies in Current Litera-
ture," and interprets them as indications of
the thirst for life and reality in art. Mr.. s..
| G. W. Benjamin outlines the development of
"American Art Since the Centennial" and
| enumerates the multiplying indications of
original and distinctively American evolution
of art in this country. "The Theory of Pro-
hibition is examined at length and in a
thoroughly candid spirit, by Mr.. Sanford Fl.
Cobb, who discriminates sharply between the
true and the false grounds on which it is
based in current discussion. Madame Blaze
de Bury contributes very fresh and inter
esting resume of the "Recollections of the
Duo de Broglie," covering the notable period
of French history betw cen 1875 and 1869, and
written with characteristic insight into the
life of the men and women of the Restoration,
and the succeeding monarchies. Under the
felicitous title of "The Vicissitudes of a
Palace" DR.. Henry Van Dyke, Jr., interprets
Tenpyson's well-known poem, 1.-THE Palace
of Art" and traces the changes which the
poet has made in his work in the successive
forms in which it has been issued, as afford

cusses the subject of " Literary Criticism T"
with special reference to American letters,
with vigor, insight and ample scholarship.
The Minister'S Factotum " is capital
piece of character study, full of nice obser-

that the old parties of hack politics are dead,
and that the party of political economy is

ham. Hon. George W. Julian, who was
appointed surveyor general of New Mexico
by President Cleveland, to look after the

contributes startling facts and figures on the
subject. Dion Boucicault treats "The De-

reference to its influence on art and the

into the revolution and leave strong and an
abiding influence upon the character and des.

broke the connection between Kings college

venerable Tory had fled to the British ship

In 1884 its character as a college revived and
its title was changed to Columbia, and in
1877 the reorganization was completed. 1t is
that event which has just been centennially
celebrated, and pleasing coincidence was
that the reorganized, patriotic and American
college began its career under the presidency
of Dr. William Samuel johnson, son of the
first president of the old Kings college The
development of Columbia college since then
has kept pace with that of the city and the
nation.
On Wednesday, April Is, 1887, an immense
number of graduates and invited guests

More than 1000 graduates and students Joined

told as to the reason why she never married,

she was very pleasant, and was much at

church and charity she gave for the pleasure

DAVID X. CARTIER territories co slav-
cry came up, he joined the newly
organized Republican party, and made
many speeches for Fremont in 1856
In 1860 he was chairman of the Ohio
delegation in the National Republican con-
vention; and when the count showed that
Lincoln lacked but three votes of nomina-
tion, he prevailed upon several members Of
that delegation to change from Chase to Lin
coin, and the latter was nominated
amid the widest enthusiasm. Soon after
his Inauguration, Mr.. Lincoln offered Mr..
Cartier his choice Of several good
places, including five foreign missions The
latter accepted the mission to Bolivia, which
he held for one year, but as there were no
pressing duties in that place he devoted most
of the time to travel. His anxieties about
the Union cause brought him home in 1862,
and as soon as he arrived President Lincoln
appointed him chief justice of the district,
bidding him organize the court at once and
go to work. No man was on more intimate
terms with the president. Judge Cartier
spent many an evening at the White House,
and his unfaltering faith in final success was
a great encouragement to the often depressed
and saddened man. With Thad Stevens,
Zach Chandler, Ben Wade and a few 9TH
ers Of that class he passed many an evening
in devising schemes to strengthen the Union
sentiment. But after the close of the war he
became less politician and more Judge in
every year of his service. He died peace
fully and painlessly in the presence of his
wife, son and two grandchildren.

through the earth is washing much larger

channels In the towns of Northwich and
Winsford the houses are settling down in all
sorts of ways, as chance may determine,
windows and doors often standing at acute
angles to the foot walks, and these rising oc-
casonally in waves. Several months ago the
earth near the Wheatsheaf inn sank very sud-
denly, and afterward the bottom of the
cellar dropped out" while several men were
at work in it. Both cellar bottom and the
earth of the earlier depression fell into an old
salt mine full of water; and the men were
saved with much difficulty. The cut shows
the Red Lion inn at Winsford, which has
sunk thirty-seven feet and half since 1916,
and is still sinking. 1t was formerly so high
that the first floor was reached by high
flight of steps, Near by stands the solitary
chimney of some old salt works, all the rest

property holders can we'll afford to forego
picturesqueness so long as greater safety is
attained. The modern fire house is certainly
a most ingenious affair, and Chicago has led
the world, if we except Ham White, of Syra-
cuse, n Y, in everything that pertains to
fremen getting to fires in hurry. Every
body has seen or heard of the sliding pole de-
vice, whereby firemen get from their beds
to their machines without much loss of time,
the electrical apparatus for loosening the
horses, starting the fire in the engine, etc.
Few believed there could be any further i'm
provement in this direction, but Chicago was
of the opinion that this was a mistake, and
has demonstrated that her opinion is correct
The authorities of that city have now per-
fected devices by which they hope to start
nearly even with any fire that can be kindled
In addition to the best machines of the latest
invention, they have system peculiarly
their own for getting the firemen
out early The men sleep on the
second floor, directly over the patrol
wagon and horses; trap doors open from
their room, and stairs easily sliding into
place conduct the men to the wagon The
cots on which the men sleep stand in Gle,
and from the inner end of each goes cord
over pulley in the center, one end of the
cord fast to the bed clothes, the other to a
weight attached to the pulley; the electric
shock which gives the fire alarm displaces
this weight, it drops, and the cords snatch

A coterie of his acquaintance who were
poker players had night session in Chicago
which closed in a contest over jack pot con-
tanning some $3.50. They had started their
game ON Saturday and on looking at their

ers suggested, by way of penance, that
whoever won the jack pot should take it to
church that day and put it into the

of a humorist. He put the cash into an en-

contribution plate. On Monday morning a
week later happening to pick up paper, he
was astonished to find in it report of SER

which feeling allusion was made to the fact
that on the previous Sunday kind stranger
had made a generous donation to the church.

matter of fact this last was simply rude
but very solidly built summer house; and it is
not likely any slave was ever sold there. In
deed, "slave marts'' were very rare in the
south, compared with the popular northern
idea; and outside of few larger cities slaves
were almost never sold out of a family except
in case of bankruptcy or the partition of an
estate But as the tourists assumed that there
must be "slave mart" in every old southern
town, the obliging st. Augustinian accom-
modated them by locating theirs in this curious
old shed. 1t is case like the grave Of Paul
and Virginia in the Isle of France, which
romantic visitors occasionally drop tear
upon The 'mart," the curious old cathe-
dral, the new st. Augustine hotel, the so year
old court house and many other structures
of modern beauty or ancient interest were
burned; but so much remains that st.
Augustine is still good place to
visit. The cathedral was completed in 1793
at cost of about $4,000; but its antiquity
made it of vast local value. Indeed, the
cathedral, Fort Marion, the sea wall and a
few old structures of Coquina rock really
made up the antique st. Augustine. The
picturesque remains still Lave the romantic
surroundings-the fort, the blue waters of
the bay and many places of historic interest
but st. Augustine without the cathedral
is almost a modern city. We have said that
the place was founded in 1865, meaning chat
a fort was built there. Pedro Mirendez
de Aviles, arrived on st. Augustines day,
Aug. 2S, and SO named the place. The more
noted fortress of San Marco was begun about
1850 and not completed till 1756, all the work
being done by Indian slaves; it is now very
slightly changed and known as Fort Marion.
The sea wall was built in 1S37-'42 by the
United States and affords most delightful
promenade. OF the old Spanish wall which
protected the city on the north, enough re-
mains to be interesting. South of the plaza
are still few old Spanish squares and in
